What Really Attracts Mosquitoes to People

Many people say mosquitoes like me and I always attract them!  A new article was just published that gives some reasonable answers to why mosquitoes really do like some people more than others.  Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, so if you're an adult this is why you are more likely to get bit because they create a bigger cloud of carbon dioxide that mosquitoes swarm to.  Another thing is if you just exercised, you are releasing lactic acid which also creates an attraction for the mosquitoes. Along with creating lactic acid, you are usually breathing more heavily while working out and this also creates more carbon dioxide.  Check out the list in the article here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/04/mosquitoes-bite-preference_n_3380188.html?utm_hp_ref=tw

No one really wants to say that they attract mosquitoes, they would rather attract other things! If you want to get rid of your mosquito attraction, give us a call 507-367-2529 or visit us at southeast-minnesota.mosquitosquad.com/
